Made by Sean Thackery with grapes grown in a single vineyard; what they all are remains unclear, but there is definitely some syrah in this which provides backbone, petite sirah which stains the glass and zinfandel to provide jammy qualities. It's an opulent blend, for sure.
At 15.7% ABV you'd think this would burn going down, but it actually is a very well rounded and well made wine. The alcohol doesn't burn, the tannins aren't grippy, and the acidity is moderate. It's an event wine if there ever was one.

The always enigmatic Sean Thackrey. From centenarian vines come a massive wine of impressive complexity. At least as savory as it is fruity, my first thought was "fennel sausage!" Fun now but should age like a top Châteauneuf. #swc
